Incentive award

The AUV Alumni Award is an annual incentive award from the Amsterdam University Association for UvA alumni who make a special contribution to society through an appealing project. The winner is a source of inspiration for others and is considered a promise for the future. The award will be presented to the winner during the AUV Day on Saturday 21 November 2020.

The award includes cash prizes. The first prize is 3,000 euros, the second prize 2,000 euros and the third prize 1,000 euros. The public prize is 1,000 euros. The winner must invest the prize into the project they were nominated for. Candidates can nominate themselves or be nominated by someone else. From the nominations, the jury selects a maximum of ten nominees who have a chance of winning the jury award and an award granted by the audience at the AUV Day.

The nomination period will close on Monday 14 September 2020 at 17:00 hours.
